spelunky (rogue-like platformer for pc mac xbla etc)

ftr i am the boss of ftl fwiw

u beat it? i think i had a big breakthrough last night when i realized how devastating boarding party strategy can be. i was rolling around w/ an amazing ship very early when i accidentally left my boarding party on a ship that FTL'd away. OOPS.

yeah, i beat it with 2 different ships before i had to stop playing it, on normal both times. i was comboing 1-2 low maintenance regular guns to take shields out and then hit with beam weapon, trying to focus on their guns and shields. power also into shields and manoeuvre and not much else. made sure i had numbers on crew but never bothered with boarding myself. honestly though, while these things helped, you can't do anything but play enough times over until you get a few breaks and a decent start.

whats ftl

kickstartered sci fi rogue-like that is pretty great

what platform(s)?

PC/Mac

gotta give props to whoever made it, i think that is the only website for a video game in existence that features zero screenshots

ha - i hadn't noticed that, but you're right

thank you for making me feel inadequate roberto, u inspired me and i finally beat the game! (on easy)

How long does it take to play through & win a game of FTL (is it comparable to Spelunky i.e. under 20 minutes or so)?

yay mord

xp it's about half an hour i think

Coming to PS3 and Vita this summer. Portable Spelunky :)

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/03/25/indie-hit-spelunky-comes-to-psn-this-summer/

Portable is a good fit

true. but I think I'm having a panic attack contemplating re-doing some of those tunnel man fetch quests.

Hah - I still have to do that damn one where you drag the key from the first world to the fire temple

yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking of. very satisfying when I finally pulled it off but a nightmare for sure.

yall up on that rogue legacy yet? like a spelunkyvania

hoping it gets a surprise discount on the steam sale, been hearing good things. i'll probably wait though

this just dropped for ps3. Worth $12?

Currently trying to beat New Game++

Same guy managed to kill the ghost this week!

got this on sale yesterday... gonna find out what the big to-do is i guess

i think without a gamepad, playing this looks pointless

I've never played with a gamepad. Got as far as the temple in the original free version. It might feel weird to use a gamepad now.

i played a million hours of this w/o a gamepad and i loved it

okay. maybe i'm just not a pc/mac gamer.
dl'd the demo to ps3 and have enjoyed it but this kind of precision platforming is mostly out of my touch gaming wheelhouse these days

o man this game is so MEAN

four bucks for ps3 this week, will be getting it

tempted to rebuy for that price

so good on vita

so hard

Just popping in to say that after playing the game pretty steadily lately (since they added the daily challenges to ps3/vita), I have FINALLY got to hell. Feels good (even if i only got to 5-2 because I had no bombs and only two hearts when i entered 5-1). I was so close so many times, so to finally get there is such a relief.

man i can't get past 1-3

i'm sorry that i posted that video. it shows absolutely nothing. it just says "coming to ps4."

god i fucking hate videos like that. it is worse than nothing.

despite yr faux pas this is v exciting news that i thank you for sharing

Loved Spelunky, never got anywhere close to beating it though. Imagine the same thing will happen with this one

That would be more exciting news if I'd ever gotten further than the third stage (and only rarely, at that) of the original game.

heh, i'm with you. however, i've only played the original game on my mac, using a keyboard. so i'm optimistic that using a real controller will help quite a bit.

did they ever port the improved XBLA/PSN version to Mac? i only played the OG freeware version on Mac

and personally i never made it to the end either, which also dampens my enthusiasm

Never finished it either, but I got to the point where I could reach the temple more often than not. And did get into Hell a couple of times. Dipped back into the original last week actually and I still love it (even though I've forgotten how to make any progress at all). If the soundtrack is by whoever did the first then that'll be enough to convince me to play 2.

No mention of a handheld release though - I quite liked the original on X360 and PC but it was the Vita port which really got its claws into me. Just works so much better as a pick-up-for-10-minutes kind of thing, which never feels right on a full console. Vita port seems unlikely this time round though so I guess I'm going to hold out for a Switch release?

I never got past the first level, lol. I remember getting this as part of the games with gold promotion. I only gave it a few hours attention, but that was enough to realize I suck at games.

I heard Earthnight was inspired by Spelunky but I'm not seeing much similarity. Looks amazing!

Looks like Sonic and some of the modern Donkey Kong games to me.

that looks great, but also i want the foreground graphics that sometimes cover up the action to go away, completely

coming out on ps4 on september 15! not sure about other platforms.

good trailer

definitely - i guess most games don't have such a figurehead developer, but it's really nice to hear a normal-sounding person talk about what's new in the game
